Issue

When creating an FTP session with CFFTP tag you receive the following error:

An error occurred during the FTP putfile operation. Error: putFile operation exceeded TIMEOUT. java.io.IOException: putFile operation exceeded TIMEOUT

Cause

The default timeout for FTP commands is 30 seconds.

Solution

Increase the timeout by adding the value, timeout="valueinseconds", to the CFFTP "open" command.

Here is an example:

<cfftp action="open" connection="objConnection3" timeout="300" attributeCollection="#objFTPProperties#" />

Note that you will also need to add the same value, requesttimeout="valueinseconds" to the CFSETTING tag.

<cfsetting requesttimeout="300" />
